SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 728,386, dated May 19, 1903.

Application filed May 1, 1902. SerialNo-105g552. (No model.)

To all whom it may conceive:

Be it known that I, HENRIK FINNE, J r., engineer, a citizen of the Kingdom of Norway, residing in the city of Stavanger, Norway,

5 have invented an Improvement in Packings for Bonbons, 850., of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to means whereby all kinds of boxes for bonbons, chocolates, &c,

usually in the forn of fiat boxes, can be converted into small objects of different kinds by means of loose parts packed with the contents of the box. The means whereby this can be effected can be provided with facility during the manufacture of the box without tables, chairs, and the like.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure l is a view of a flat box partially opened and showing one of the loose parts.

view of a box converted into a table. Fig. 4 is a perspective view showing a corner connection of the fitted table illustrated in Fig.

3. Fig. 5 is a plan view of another form of.- box partially open and showing onset the loose parts by means of which the box can be converted into a chair. Figs. 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 illustrate the loose parts by means of which the box shown in Fig. 5 can be converted into Fig. .11 is a front view of the chair, and Fig. 12 is a side view-thereof.

To enable the emptied boxes to be adapted for conversion into small toys, tongues or clamping-pieces are arranged upon the sides 40 of the said box, the said .tongues being cut or stampted out of boxes in such a manner that by their elasticity they can be easily connected to the loose partssuch as the chair-legs, table-legs, back parts, due-which are introduced into the box, together with the usual contents thereof, such as chocolate, 850.

These parts, which are held by the tongues or clamping-pieces,can then be so combined with Fig. 3 is a sidethe box itself that they form in conjunction therewith toys or small objects of different kinds. c

As an example of a box with loose parts I have shown in the accompanying drawings a box, Figs. 1 to 4, adapted to be converted into a table, and another, Figs. 5 to 12, adapted to be converted into a chair.

Fig.1 illustrates a box, in which 1 is the end, 4 the cover, and 3 one of the four tablelegs which are introduced into the box, together with the usual contents thereof, such as chocolates,bonbons, (he. 2 represents the tongues or clamping-pieces, which are cutout at suitable points in the sides,'(in this case at the corners.) It will be easily seen from Fig. 4 how the. angular legs 3 can without any difficulty be inserted between the springtongues 2 and held by these tongues so as to form the table shown in Fig. 3.

Fig. 5 shows a box of a shape especially adapted for conversion into achair. The loose parts'namely, the legs 5 and 6-'aro packed in the box, the legs 6. possessing an These legs 6 7 can be folded up in orderthat they can be introduced into the box. A

back piece 8 is also provided, which can be connected by the tongues 9 to the tongues 10 of the chair-legs 6 and 7. As will be clear from the drawings, the spring-tongues 2 hold the legs in position. The cover 4 of the box can be provided with notches 11, Fig. 5, for receiving the back legs.

It will be obvious that in addition to the flat box and the chairs and table to be formed from the same other shapes ofboxes with 2. In combination, a box having slits near its ends, and legs held removably by the said slits, substantially as described.

3. In combination, a rectangular box, slits in the sides near the corners forming oppositely-arranged tongues, and angular legs embracing the corners and detachably held thereagainst by said tongues, substantially as described.

4:. In combination, a box comprising a rectangular body, oppositely-located tongues in proximity to and pointing toward each corner and legs having portions angular in cross-section embracing said corners and held in place by said tongues, substantially as described.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two witnesses.

HENRIK FINNE, JR.
